really, all types of friction can be thought of as self adjusting forces, since they arise only because of some initial force. you have a good question, we should start calling them static self adjusting force, kinetic self adjusting force, and rolling self adjusting force. also the frictional force is dependant on the weight of the object and the surface, not the speed, so using the word kinetic can be misleading.

Which type of kinetic fiction is usually greater sliding kinetic friction or rolling kinetic friction?

Sliding Kinetic Friction is usually greater than Rolling Kinetic Friction. Sliding Kinetic Friction is caused by two objects being dragged together, providing more opportunity for the objects' microscopic hills and valleys to catch.

How do static friction and kinetic differ from each other?

Static friction is a force that must be overcome to start motion. Kinetic friction is the force that must be overcomne during motion or the motion stops.
